New PUBLIC TESTING version available 10.0.14:

Nodes needs a reset and continue watching node must be re-added to skin if used as widget etc.

Thanks for these fixes.  Looking forward to them.  How does one reset a node?

It's about half the way down in the sync options.

Nodes reset does nothing for me.  I can select it click ok, but clicking the ok button on the remote seems to do nothing.

It's real quick and doesn't display a message that it's complete.  I did request some sort of message earlier saying it was run.  Think I pressed it several times a while back myself thinking the same.

Might be something in the logs saying it was run.

Probably I should really add a done notification.

Strange issue, and I am not sure if this is skin related or plugin related.  I am using Omega 21, Aeon NOX MQ7, Emby for Kodi 10.0.14, Emby server 4.7.13.0 (I know, I know) but after watching an episode I delete the show, it ends up eating the entire season.  For example if I have 3 show's in a season 1, I watch episode 1, pop to delete, hit yes, then episode 2 and 3 will disappear.  They are not deleted, just gone from the display.  At the season level, it will show the correct season and episode count.  I can go down to the show level, hit menu and "scan for new content" then it will bring it back however the episode count is doubled as 4 even though there are only 2 shows in the season.

Not reproducible at the moment.

No, not yet. You need to sideload it.

Links are on page one (three modules) or installable via Kodi filebrowser (FAQ chapter "Public testing")

I have the same issue.  The only way I have found to fix it is to repair the library.  I do find that if I use Kodi Events to delete an episode it doesn't do this.  It only does it if I use the Emby context menu.  I reported it a while back.  I believe it started in v9 of the plugin for me.  It is super annoying though!

[EDIT] I am on the Kodi 20.5, and Emby 4.8.4 (at the last time this happened), and plugin version 9.x through 10.0.14.

I'm having a problem with a TV Show collection. I added a TV SHow to a collection but it does not appear in E4K

it's ok for Movies Collection, but TV Show Collection is empty

Normal or Bug ?

Kodi synced content/node I guess? Kodi does not support collections (actually Boxsets/Sets in Kodi terms) for TVShows.

You need to use dynamic nodes for TVShow collections.

Workaround for synced content would be using tags. There is an option available (Boxsets as Tags) in plugin sync settings.

Not sure if this is an e4k issue, a skin issue, or a combo, but trying "Arctic Zephyr - Reloaded" on Omega it can't load images as it seems to think the links are to directories.

The log is filled with lines like

error <general>: GetDirectory - Unable to get http directory (http://127.0.0.1:57342/picture/8f96e117caea4dadacbfd99c712ad540/p-93412-0-B-e01fc89527b5f7f89501fd930203b3b6/|redirect-limit=1000)

Trying manually it seems those links are direct picture links not directories.

Not really a big concern to me, but thought I'd mention it in case it's an e4k issue you'd like to address and not a skin issue. 

This is in add-on mode in case it matters.

Seems to be happening in the recent omega port of Amber too.   Why it's "stat"-ing without the / and opening with it I don't know.

Which kind of picture is it? Actor, episode, movie etc.

Could be a skin issue or I mistakenly used path substitution for images at some point.

btw, this could also happen for video content when using path substitution and is not an issue. The plugin tricks Kodi thinking videos are regular files.

Kodi does not extract embedded images (e.g. for chapter) if it's a http link even it's technically possible (hardcoded disabled in Kodi).

The / at the end happens when Kodi (or you manually) tried to read folder structure and is intercepted by the plugins "webserver". 404 is correct.

I'm pretty sure it's fanart.  The skins are trying to pull images for the background.

[seashell 35]

Would you be ok with the addition of "Go To Show" and "Go To Season" options on the context menu for TV show episodes?  So that say in a "New Episodes" widget one would have the option of going from that episode directly to the related Show/Season page?

I've already written initial code that does it, but I'm not going to pretend that you won't have to look at it and go there's an edge case you're not handling here so it would increase your workload.

I've not added the two strings to the translation files either.

 

[seashell 35]

Here's a patch to add the go to functions, along with a setting to disable them and an en_gb language strings file in case you're interested.

There are two "Go To Show" language strings.  The first would actually be for the setting name for enable/disabled, the second what appears in the context menu (actually a sub-menu, I put show/season in a sub-menu to save space in the context menu).

Thanks, today I'm busy, but will test it tomorrow.

An update on the picture issue, I set the cache all images option and let it cache everything and now it loads the images fine.  So is this a timeout solved by caching or something else?

I merged the code, working great.

btw, yes I prefer json calls wherever possible. executebuiltin has issues. It took me hours to debug a special case till I figured out executebuiltin triggered the actual problem. I don't trust executebuiltin anymore.

What is the actual problem? Not loaded?

The paths in the db are fine. Not sure why skin (or something else) thinks it's a folder.

Stat might be ok even for webserver files. Not sure if stat can process urls.

Great.  Thanks for accepting it.  I figured there was a reason on the json, thanks for letting me know.

The actual problem I noticed that made me look in the logs is that background images (fanart) were not showing.  Then the logs showed all the errors.

I noticed a few shows did show the art though, and realized it was shows that had loaded the image by visiting the show information page->show art which moved it into the cache.  So then I did the cache all and now the images are working.

So I don't know what's different to the skins when they fetch from cache vs not from cache.  Do they somehow get different locations?  Or is it purely a timeout?

I didn't see this problem on 20.5, it started with 21.0.  It's happening on two different skins.

Cached images are downloaded to Kodi (userdata/Thumbnails). http/urls queries are no longer used at this point.

Actually Kodi always caches images once loaded by a view (visible). The cache option does the same but without browsing views. It loads the images in advance.
